New Zealand - 2003 ROTK tour

[winter_elf]

Kat, since you wanted to see - here are some pics from my LOTR New Zealand tour. Since ORC is still on my mind, I'm in a LOTR mood :) heh. Like Mercy said, I took a TON of photo's.



Aragorn's cliff - just for Mercy! ha! I guess this is the one that stood out the most to her... I have several more, but this one is the funest.


Wellington Airport - totally decorated. Here's just a sample


Isenguard - look at the hills in the background. Ignore the river and river valley, and instead imagine Orthanc tower and the stone walls.


Frodo's Tree - the one he hides behind in LOTR: Fellowship


Rohan lake - the lake that the refugee's walk around on the way to Helmsdeep in the 2nd movie. I LOVED this place, it's called Kelvin Heights Deer Park and it's just beautiful, and very deceptive. The lake is not that big (more a pond), and the at the end of the lake in the distance is a drop off. It's actually a LONG space between the end of the lake and the mountains in the background. But it looks like the lake it right at the mountain's base! Not that far from Aragorn's cliff.

Yeay! Pictures of YOU and not the ground, pins and people pointing at the ground. Of course, seeing where Aragorn one rolled around and sweated is a thrill, but still.

Ummm...Aragorn. ::runs and takes a shower::

So was this trip formally organized as a LOTR trip/adventure? How long were you in New Zealand? A week? Two?

PS - you need to go AGAIN and bring one of your elf dolls to photograph there. ;)

18 days total I think was the time in NZ. And yes, it was an organized tour. I've done a 2nd post with more photos.
